Mariah Carey

Sam Smith doing what so many lambs have been doing this weekend.

I myself have been listening all day to her ballads and love songs.

Sam's songs are a mood as well....Stay With Me is the obvious standout, but I really love their more delicate songs and piano ballads like Palace, Forgive Myself

His lyrics are devastating at times

Palace

"My head is filled with ruins
Most of them, I built with you
Now the dust no longer moves
Don't disturb the ghost of you, mmh

They are empty, they are worn
Tell me what we built this for
On my way to somethin' more
You're that one I can't ignore, mmh"


Forgive Myself

'Til I wake up in the morning, you're all that I see
You run through my head, in and out of my dreams
Breathe for a minute, try and focus on me
But I can't think of anyone else

Now my heart is broken and I'm crying on the floor
And every part of me hopes you walk through the door
But you're not here, baby, and I can't love anyone else
'Til I forgive myself

[Mckenry]

If there's one thing that I'd wish Mariah's team to do (if they happen to read this forum) for her live performances and recordings in the future, is to add echo in her voice. I think that's the only lacking element in her vocals nowadays.

I

EDIT: All Cried Out was produced but not written by Mariah. Still I feel that song would be fire by her

All Cried Out was released by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam in 1985, then covered by Allure in 1997.

With those Allure songs, and the Blaque song, I always wonder whether they were songs she wrote for the other artists or leftovers from the Butterfly album.

Has anyone ever tried it?

I don't think I could ingest something in that packaging with that coloring.

@skylynx good to see Music Box on the list.

Some lambs are too much

I love Sade, and this would be something major.

However, she did ruin one of my favorite songs of George Michael (i.e. One More Try) so this has to depend on when she recorded it and her vocal quality.

I’m late to the party but wanted to say that I loved what she did with WBT in her recent performance - kept it very fresh and the vocals were on fire!

Demi has been in the industry for over a decade now and her accomplishments can shall we say, barely register on any radar. For her to come for the Queen is laughable.

Miley's disrespect is also laughable. To speak in a way that suggests that her own music is in some way more real or deeper than Mariah's is delusional.

What Demi did was so stupid.
She even deactivated her social media after what she said

On the other hand, Miley was even worse 'cause I think she was talking more than herself than of Mariah.
It's like the saying that goes "what Luis says about Pablo says more about Luis than Pablo".

That comment from Miley is absolutely hilarious. I have no other word for it. Just pure hilarity. Lol.

You know what’s another great VDay song? #Beautiful

A good friend of mine used to said " de puta habló la tacones"

Am I the only one who would love a duet with Sam Smith? I would love those 2 voices together ❤

P.d. Shaka i hope u stan Sam Smith as well lol

[Shaka]

To me Valentine songs should be romantic love songs (preferably duets), not songs about heartbreak (Without You, Love Takes Time).

Endless Love is the best of her songs to be played on Valentines IMO

Yeah, I agree (tho not necessarily duets).

I think "Yours" is perfect.

[Shaka]

Yeah I don’t get people confusing ballads with valentines day which should be about Love not loss or suffering.

Exactly.

Agreed. Isn't VOL a song about religion as well

I think it's about God/faith.

But it's in the "Valentines" EP that Mariah released back in 2000 tho.

Tracklist

1. Vision of Love
2. Underneath the Stars
3. My All
4. Babydoll
5. Do You Know Where You’re Going To?

I love this pic.
The whole shoot is amazing.

Vision of Love
”Thank God I Found You”
“Yours”
“Joyride”
”Love Story”
”Ribbon”
“The Impossible”

These are perfect for Valentine's.

"Yours" and "With You" are also great.

My top 5 Valentine’s Day:

5- One Mo’ Gen

The temperature is rising, crack a window
Let's be the opposite of lonely
Come and give me what you owe me
Did you like when I put my lips there?

4- When I Saw You

When I saw you, I could not breathe, I fell so deep

3- Melt Away

You and me in a cloud of reverie
Spin around inside my head unendingly
Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize
Pretty pictures of what I'd do if you were mine

2- Joy Ride

Lovin' you is like a taste of heaven
Wanna gaze into your eyes forever
Run away and spend our lives together
I've found love

1- The Impossible

Tonight I'm gonna need all your attention
Close the door, I wanna do things I probably shouldn't mention
Like a bird I'm gon' hum those three words

Butterfly has the most disappointing streams it seems. Even Charmbracelet is outstreaming it which is very surprising.

[Shaka]

I am happy that OMG is getting some love. It's underrated (to me) as one of the best on Caution.

OMG is one of the best tracks on Caution and some of her best work post TEOM.

[Shaka]

I need that WBT recording to be released on Spotify as an audio. Queen of covering her own songs and making them fresh!

It should be in all the streaming platforms 'cause SHE DID DAT

[Shaka]

If there's one thing that I'd wish Mariah's team to do (if they happen to read this forum) for her live performances and recordings in the future, is to add echo in her voice. I think that's the only lacking element in her vocals nowadays.

They definitely would sound better with some reverb.

[Shaka]

He better stan!

Yeahhh, that's a good one

[Shaka]

A good friend of mine used to said "de puta habló la tacones"

OMG jaja, amé esta frase! already incoporada en mi léxico!
